The All Party Parliamentary Group for The Future of Aviation was set up on October 6th 2020, to provide policy solutions to tackle the challenges facing the aviation, travel and tourism industries as a result of COVID-19.
The Group brings together MPs and Peers from across the political spectrum to debate key issues and campaign together to ensure the recovery of our aviation, travel and tourism industries.
The APPG Officers, led by the Chair, meet regularly throughout the year and make decisions on activity and policy direction for the Group.
